Punk Sandwich

a tuff guy a good guy

 

Punk Sandwich

there he is walking down the street

slicked back hair and a thin mustache

high rise collar on his button down shirt

sparkle in his eye and always talkin trash

he loved his Italian beef on pumpernickle rye

he loved his mama and his brothers too

he wasn't your ordinary everyday punk

there was more and you knew he knew

 

fear for him does not exist or so he claims

quicker than a bolting flash of light

behind you with a jagged edge of blade

he is no one to challenge to a fight

he has connections to all the right ones

the ones you need to know for security

or to make some annoyance disappear

his word is golden shinning with a purety

a perfect friend intelligent curteous and brave

but these can all change to weapons of death

if you are so disposed to challange his way

it just might be your very last breath

after dropping you in a pool of disguise

he will tip his fadora with playful grace

back on his brow and cigarella between his lips

and that same old smirk upon his face

Author's Note

This is the 2nd piece in a collection of concepts provided by virtuoso guitarist Steve Morse of the Steve Morse Band, Dixie Dreggs, Kansas. The title is one of his songs, but the words are my interpetation of that conceptual title.

The words were amazing. The flow of the poem very good. I like the description of the man in the poem. We never know what a person had done in a life till we talks to them and know them some. Powerful ending to a excellent poem. Thank you.

There's so much detail in this, it paints such a vivid picture in my mind, and reading this was like watching a film play in my mind. I love the subtlety of this piece as well, it has an easy going sort of flow that makes me feel relaxed.
